"This is a lesson to us all. A reminder that it doesn’t matter who you are – the way we interact with each other every day is important. We affect each other. In big ways and in small.
Whether it’s a cashier at the local shop or the new boss from regional head office, we are all people first. We all have the power to fill others with joy or ruin their day."

I 100% agree that you can put joy into someone’s day or ruin their day.
ReplyDeleteFor example, you could hurt someone’s feelings by telling her she’s hideous. Also, by negatively commenting on something that they love.
For instance, you could cheer someone up by making them laugh. Also, you can be nice to them by helping someone with homework or something. In addition, some stranger that you didn’t know could comment on your new boots or something. Also, when I was at the store I didn’t have enough change and someone gave me the money for it that I needed.
These are some ways that you can ruin someones day or put joy into someone's day.
I 100% agree that you have all of the power to fill others with joy or ruin their day. I agree with this because if you do something mean, or hurtful to someone it could ruin their whole day! For instance, say you were bullying your classmate at recess in school, they could get really embarassed and hurt physically or mentally. But also, you could fill someones day with joy, or happiness. If you are nice to them, be their friend, or make them laugh it might change their day and make it a lot brighter. I remember one time when I was walking with my friends a stranger came up to me and said to me that she liked my shirt. That made me happy, and my day even better. So there are several ways that you could completely ruin someones day or put joy into it.
ReplyDeleteI disagree 100% we don't have the power to ruin other people it is up to them if what you say ruins their day.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, you could could wake and just plain old be in a terrible mood. Some could say anything in the world and you could be still ticked off. You could feel like your on top of the world and some could say all the rude things in the world you'll still be on the top of the world. no one can put you down or make you feel on top of the world.
I kinda agree. People do have the power to ruin someone's day just by saying the wrong thing to them, even if they're already in a good mood. But that's only if you choose to take it to heart. When people say things just to make you feel bad, you shouldn't let it get to you because that's exactly what they're trying to do. My point is that yes a person can ruin your day, but only if you let them.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree that I can ruin somebody's day. Firstly, I could have had a terrible day yesterday and been in an awful mood.
ReplyDeleteNext, when I go downstairs I could be very mean to my mom. I would say that I dont want to retake the math test and start yelling at her. When she drops me off at school I could have said "BYE!" with an attitude and got her mad.
Lastly, when I get home I could be all mean to her and she could tell me how bad she felt, because I was yelling at her. That is how I could ruin someone's day.
I agree with that whole qoute. A lot of times people get angry at people because they have already had a bad day or don't want to do something later on in the day. Things that could rin someones day is by not saying hi saying something mean but you just kidding. Everyone no mateer who you are can ruin someone's day.You can fix it by saying I'm sorry but still it could ruin someone's day.
ReplyDeleteAlso you could fill someone with joy by holding a door open or doing something kind for someone. Most of the time when you do something nice for someone it's a chain reaction. When that person does something nice for a different person and it keeps going.
I 100% agree that what you do or say can affect a persons day by what you say or what you do. If you say something nice to somebody that would make them feel happy. Even if you hold the door open for somebody for no reason, your kindness can change even the worst day. If you ask somebody what's wrong that can fill them with joy and they will know you care. On the other hand, if you are a jerk to people and insult them that can ruin a persons day. If you slam a door in somebody's face that will make them sad. If you notice somebody is really sad you wouldn't just tell them to stop being sad and move-on, that would make it worse. Overall, I believe that we do have to power to affect somebody's whole day.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we have the power to ruin someones day or make it a great one. Its all in the actions, if you act mean to someone it can ruin they're mood even if their in a good mood. It depends on how mean or nice the action is. If it is something like putting them down every 5 minutes for the whole day, it will ruin their mood most of the time. Same thing with good actions, if someone is in a bad mood because of something that happened, all it requires is some positive attention to make them feel better. That is why I think we do have the power to ruin or enhance someones day.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with this quote. You can change someone’s day by being mean and hurtful, or nice and caring. For example, if you felt like your hair was all mess up and your clothes looked terrible you would feel really down on yourself. Though, if someone complimented you that day about how you looked, you would feel better and more confident instead of down. Also, one way it can affect you in a bad way is if someone saw that you didn’t look to good, but instead of telling you it in a nice way they would tell you that you looked really bad today. This would cause you to feel even worse than you did before and you would probably be self conscious all day. That is why if you notice someone looks really upset you should try to make than feel better and not worse. As you can see you have the ability to change someone’s day in a positive or negative way.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I believe that this is a very powerful quote and I 100% agree with it. First, if you physically or verbally hurt someone, it can cause them to be very sad or angry and it can ruin their day. On the nicer side, someone may do a good thing for someone such as picking up a book they dropped. This may make their day happy. They might also do the same thing for another person and make them feel the same. The littlest things can make or break someone. Such as holding open a door or complimenting them. A little thing you can do to ruin someones day may be saying you don't like what they are wearing or giving them dirty looks. I have had a recent experience with someone making my day happy. I haven't talked to someone in a long time and the other day, they started talking to me again. That put a smile on my face. Clearly, I agree with this quote.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this quote. I have seen this happen many times in my life. An example of this was when a student did not have a pencil and someone broke their pencil in half and gave him half to use. I think when a person is in a bad moood and grumpy to everyone else it can cause others to become grumpy too. I also think that when someone is kind to someone else it makes that person happy and they may be kind to another person in return. Another good example of this is how people reacted after Hurricane Sandy. People from all over the country sent things and came to help those in need. This helped the hurricane victims feel good and not feel alone.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree with this statement. I feel this way because many friends of mine have lent me things when I don't have them with me. It only takes one person to start a chain reaction, like lending a pencil, or a piece of paper. Little things like that can effect the person to do the same to another. If you're ever upset and you let it out on someone that person could go home and be cranky and let it out on their parents. Every little thing you do effects one another even if you don't realize it. The lesson is that you shouldn't put a negative effect on people and you should watch what you're doing and be positive around people.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree with the quote,"we all have the power to fill others with joy or ruin their day."Its like saying that I helped Ms.Domohowski clean her white board or organizing her literature books.She would be very pleased and relieved that she didn't have to do that all herself.A personal experience of my own or everyone in O'Maley is that when we did the Day of Service the lady that my homeroom helped clean up was probably very pleased and very happy with her new and improved front and back yard.So if you see someone in need of help don't just stand there help that person and you'll see that you will make a difference and you bring joy to that person's day!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the quote. Everyone has the power to fill others with joy, or ruin their day. If you insult someone, hurt them, or make them sad in any way, it could easily ruin their day. Also, ignoring a person, and leaving them out can ruin their day. You can fill someone with joy, and make their day much better too. If you compliment someone or help them out it can make them extremely happy. In my experience if I don't understand homework, or I am having trouble with some having difficulty with some other problem in my life, and someone helps me out, it makes me very cheerful, and helps me have a positive outlook on the rest of my day. Even the tiniest little things can make someone as happy as a puppy, or as morose as Eor from Winnie the Poo. Clearly, people have the ability to fill someone with joy, or ruin their day.
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree. Feelings come into this too. If your a soft person who cant handle something not thats not nicely said to them. Compared to a person that can take alot to take their feelings down. Not just words but actions like bulling or a fight. You can ruin a half dozen peoples day like If you annoy some one they will do it to others till they feel good about them selfs. For a good way and still affecting some ones day could be helping a laddie cross the street or give a pencil to some one and make their day. It all comes down to feelings. I agree to this quote.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agee with this quote.You have the power to put someone down and hurt there feelings.You also have the power to put them in a good mood for the rest of the day and make them happy.People don't realize that if they say something or do something mean to a person it can ruin their entire day.What people do realize is that if they say something or do something nice to a person that they can make their day the best day they have ever had.Therefore,I agree with this very true quote.
